The HUSTLER.
The county commissioners met yes
terday and opened the bids for excavat-
ing and building the foundation for the
new court house. The following bids
were handed in: A. G. Ochs So, 900.
81. Hanschen $6,74O. Anton Zieher $5,-
447.60. Geo. Reed, of Mankato $40, 975.
O. R. Mather, of Mankato, $9,860. Mr..
Reed wired the commissioners to re-
duce his bid one thousand dollars, as he
had made an error. Mr.. Zieher with
drew his bid as he had made errors in
estimates. The commissioners allowed
him to withdraw same and awarded the
contract to II. Hanschen.
Rev. E. G. Saunders of Sleepy Eye
was among Mankato's honored visitors
last week, attending the Baptist state
convention, to which denomination be
belongs. elder Saunders, as ali his
friends know him, is an old settler,
and justly entitled to rank among that
remarkable body of men who were pio-
neers in the settlement of our State.
He came to Minnesota in 1856, as a
minister of the Baptist church, which
relation he has since held, save and ex-
cepti ng during the war, when he laid
aside his ministerial duties and as
sumed those of the soldier, and he
made good one. He was one of New
Ulm's gallant defenders, and later as
sisted in recruiting Co. G, of the Tenth
Minnesota, in lie Sueur county, and
was elected captain, serving nearly
three years and mastering out at the
close of the war as major. The elder is
physically and mentally strong man,
earnest, honest and faithful to every
trust. modesJly shrinking from positions
to which his abilities so well entitle him.
All old settlers have more than friend
" feeling for the elder, and they always
have q hearty greeting for him. MAN.
KATo REVIEW.
G. G. Goodnow, well known in this
vicinity, has been ordered to leave his
farm which is located near Pipestone.
Mr.. Goodnow is one of number of
squatters who settled on tract of land
one mile square, on which are located
the famous pipestone quarries, and was
set apart for the Yankton Sioux Indians
several years ago. These gentlemen
all built houses on the land some three
years ago, and have been living there
ever since, though they have been noti-
fed to move time and again. The In
dams haue made such .skick'' about
it that Judge Kinney, the Yankton In
dian agent, has been to Washington to
adjust matters and the ordering of
United States troops there to clear the
reservation is the outcome of his trip.
It is thought the white settlers will all
move peaceably, but if not Capt. Bean
has orders to use military force and
eject them. TRACY TRUMPET.
